Pros: kicks ass

Optimas are good batteries and they can be mounted in any position. They claim they're a spiracell acr blah blah battery and not a gel cell, but I think that's just marketing.
Pros: good batteries, mount in any position
Cons: marketing claims
Don't assume the Optima is in good condition either. I love them, I have one in each car, but both my brother and I have bought RED and YELLOW tops that were bad from the store.
Pros: I love them
Cons: bad from the store
Optima is the most overrated battery brand on the planet (I'm not saying the WORST, but they are way too well-known for being a slightly-below-average product). They used to suck when they were gel cell (gel cells all suck) and their more recent AGM (AGM itself is good) batteries aren't great. Made by Johnson Controls, a not-great company, in Mexico.
Cons: overrated, below-average product, not great, used to suck
My Optima Redtop 8003-151 34R that I purchased through amazon kicked the bucket and cannot be recharged. Do not buy Optima Batteries from Amazon since they will send you back to Optima and Optima will tell you that Amazon is not an Authorized dealer.
Cons: cannot be recharged, died quickly
Part number: 8003-151 34R
